Diamond Care
Diamonds do not have a shelf life. If you kept a
diamond for a hundred years, it would still have
the same brilliance and sparkle as it had when
you bought it. Thats due to their stable and
inert chemical structure. Interestingly, diamonds
are also the hardest material on Earth but that
doesnt mean they are invincible. In fact, they
are prone to cracking, chipping and other kinds
of physical damage if proper care isnt taken
when wearing them. When most people shop for an
engagement ring, they often forget that the
proper care of a diamond actually starts from
the choice/design of their setting. Depending
on the shape of the center stone, different
types of prongs are required to properly secure
and protect the stone from physical damage. For
example, the tip of a pear shaped diamond
requires a V- prong to prevent the sharp point
from chipping. Apart from the diamond, the
setting would also require routine maintenance
due to wear and tear. Depending on the type
of material used for the setting, the nature of a
maintenance job can differ from one to
another. Source www.beyond4cs.com w w w . e y
